...wait, lemme guess, the 4 self-promotion threads I've made this whole year has somehow killed the board? Also, I constantly try to get other members of the board to be creative and to help me out with things, which.. you know.. some people find fun? So, I'm introducing some fun into the board, as opposed to just trying to shut people and their opinions down. I know that's awful, but that's just me.


I was just zinging here and there, since generally most of your posts on the Sonic Youth section seem critical of the band, in one way or another. I find that to be discorteous of you, since their forum gives you a chance to post your work and promote it more than anyone else I have encountered on here.

Haha, I dunno what you're talking about. I'm not trying to be critical, I'm..

wait for it..

wait for it...

I'M JUST HONEST.

Haha.

I don't slag 'em off at all, I really love all their albums aside from Nurse and Rather Ripped and Dirty. But everything else, all SYR's and EP's and singles and outtakes and bootlegs, and a lot of the side projects, are quite good. I'm still going to tell everyone that Free Kitten is the worst thing I've ever heard, though (aside from Mars Volta and the Markers).

I'm sure not even Thurston enjoys everything his band has put out. Hell, he'd probably agree with me on some of the stuff I say, who knows. All that matters is, at the end of the day, I still enjoy them a lot. Even though I don't listen to them very much anymore -- I don't need to, I have all those records memorized!

Genteel Death 10.20.2009 09:25 AM

Haha indeed.

Well, your posts about Sonic Youth generally don't leave me with much of an impression that you're even a fan, so you can take the stick and enjoy the self-promotion. I'm beginning to think that perhaps if it wasn't for SY, the Coley Enterprise & Co. wouldn't be as popular. Also, how many other bands Thurston Moore likes and has written about that don't use their forum as much as you do for self-promotion?

atsonicpark 10.20.2009 09:27 AM

I'm trying to generate a catchphrase.

Trust me when I say no "Self-promotion" on this board has ever gotten me any money or shows or anything. Anyway, I apologize wholeheartedly from posting things that some people on here care about. Guess I should stop.

Forever ago.

I might have listened to Rain on Tin at some point during the past few months, but who knows.

Death & the Maiden 10.20.2009 09:26 PM

Seandi 10.20.2009 09:44 PM

EVOLghost 10.20.2009 11:36 PM

shiiiit. I was suppose to do that today!

SuperCreep 10.20.2009 11:39 PM

I listened to CIS two weeks ago.

pbradley 10.21.2009 12:01 AM

just a little while ago, I was watching their shows from Japan

Can't say I've listened to a full album in a while, though, but that kind of attention I only give to a handful of bands at a time.

stu666 10.21.2009 01:35 AM

almost daily, definitely weekly.

It's gotten you radio play though. I've played you and Year of the Lips. Both good projects in my estimation (I'm more into Robe. than Scissor Shock, but that doesn't particularly prove anything).

I listened to The Eternal a couple times through driving back to Portland from Olympia today.

atsonicpark 10.21.2009 03:21 AM

Yeah, but you're my pal Dead-Air. I know my music sucks. But I appreciate you playing it.
